Past Events

This is our monthly meeting to conduct business and plan for the month ahead. We discuss the latest environmental happening in SE Michigan and decide how to turnout and the best strategy to protect the planet we all enjoy. Everybody is welcome. We will meet in the Premium Electric Building.
This month we will discuss the proposal to build a new gas plant in Dearborn and the pollution it will create along with how to move Oakland County to 100% renewables. We will also celebrate our recent victory stopping coal ash pollution in the Great Lakes.

This is the general meeting of the Metro Detroit Beyond Coal Campaign. Each month we come together to discuss and take action on fighting back against attacks on the environment. In these trying times, we are doing more than ever to protect our planet for future generations. Come learn about our campaign from its base here in Michigan to our travels to DC.
In this agenda, we will discuss our upcoming meetings with our Senators, updates on the renewable energy landscape across southeastern Michigan, and much more. If you're thinking about getting involved, this is the perfect time.
Everybody is welcome to these meetings. Parking is free in the north parking lot (and street). Enter the building and take a left to our office.

It's our monthly meetup. We're doing more than ever to help fight for the climate.

This is a general meeting of the Metro Detroit Beyond Coal Campaign. The Beyond Coal Campaign is a national campaign that has successfully phased out about half of the United States' coal plants in the last decade.
Building off previous successes, we are working on what is next for our coal communities, resisting the environmental rollback, and working towards 100% renewable energy for local communities

Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign has a new initiative, &quot;Ready for 100,&quot; getting local governments to commit to 100% renewable energy. We'll also be discussing resistance to Trump's efforts to turn back the calendar on the environment.

As our environment continues to face an onslaught of bad ideas, come learn how to defend and fight back in this new age of climate denial. We will hear from cities that are #readyfor100 percent renewable energy and talk about what's currently happening at the federal level, ways to resist, and things you can do to get involved.

This is our monthly meeting. Come learn about our campaign, current events, and efforts towards renewable energy. This month we will be talking about what we do going forward with a new president and how to make our towns and cities pledge to go to 100% renewable energy.
The meeting is held in our office and begins at approximately 6:30 in the Premium Electric Building. Street and building parking available for all participants.

How much regulation do you think coal plants have on dumping their wastewater into the Great Lakes? If you answered &quot;almost nothing&quot; to this question, you'd, unfortunately, be correct. Coal ash is largely unregulated but that's about to change. The Environmental Protection Agency has released new rules that protect our water quality. However, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is once again allowing industries to avoid the law for as long as possible.
Please join us at our next meeting on Tuesday, September 27, 2016, to learn more. Location, as always, is 2550 Hilton Rd, Ferndale, MI 48220. We also discuss a few other important things, including a lawsuit from US Steel that will impact the last few years of work we've been doing around sulfur dioxide pollution.
